Cave du Vieux Bourg, Epesses

An expert in the soils of Lavaux, Hervé Detomasi gives guests an experience in the heart of terroirs. While looking at cutouts illustrating the different soil layers in Lavaux, visitors can also taste the corresponding wines from the terroirs. The Cave du Vieux Bourg is open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons or by prior arrangement. Out of season, we suggest you call before you go.

For those who want to go further, classes are also available, with or without typical winemaker's meal at the end of the class. Fans can also buy the wines of their choice.

Located at the edge of the village of Epesses, a traditional and picturesque village in the Lavaux UNESCO region, the Cave du Vieux Bourg is a welcoming place, whose vaulted ceiling creates a feeling of intimacy. Groups of up to 20 people can rent the cellar for their private events, with or without catering.
